[107barney]

I should have elaborated about Winny.
He was raised to be kept for the show ring by a breeder in New England. He was projected to be a little too big so he was sent to a placement service/rescue and I saw his listing. I could see that he looked like a nicely bred Yorkie and when I inquired I was told he came from a breeder who does things right and he was apparently healthy. I adopted him the day before his 1st birthday. He made himself right at home but tended to keep to himself for security for a couple of weeks. He wasn't sure of his place. Daisy was the first one to play with him and they started playing with soft toys together and tug of war games. Teddy was next to accept him and I would find him putting his head down on him and cuddling. Barney wanted nothing to do with him and a few fights broke out that I managed by using Meganmomma advice (kitchen water sprayer). I ignored my vets advixe which was to kick them. I found a cutting board worked well too. Anyway, fast forward, he and barney are BFFs. Winston is a very nice dog, very sturdy and outgoing. He is very pretty and he seems healthy still now that he's 3. He is going for his dental cleaning in two weeks from now. All in all, we call Winston "the low carbon footprint" because he is an easy dog as all young Yorkies should be. I insured him just in case but hope to lose money on that! He is a good boy.
